By James Howard

Book Overview

Continental Farming and Peasantry is a book written by James Howard in 1870. It is a comprehensive study of farming practices and the life of peasants in various countries across Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the agricultural systems, the social and economic conditions of the peasants, and the political and cultural factors that shape their lives. Howard's work is based on his extensive travels throughout Europe, where he observed and documented the farming practices and the lives of the peasantry. He provides a detailed account of the various crops grown in different regions, the methods of cultivation, and the tools and equipment used. He also describes the different types of livestock raised and the role they play in the agricultural economy. The book also delves into the social and economic conditions of the peasants, including their living conditions, diet, and access to education and healthcare. Howard examines the role of the church and the government in shaping the lives of the peasants, and how they are affected by the larger political and economic forces of their time. Overall, Continental Farming and Peasantry is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of agriculture and the lives of the peasantry in Europe during the 19th century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a world that has long since disappeared, and sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by those who worked the land in a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
